Happy 50th Anniversary to The O'Jays "Family Reunion" album!

Earlier this year, we talked about Family Reunion (and Survival) as a part of a great 1975 for the O'Jays #MusicSky

It contains creative writing projects, opinion/essay writing and an after-hours podcast I named after my favorite Go-Go song.

Pretty good value, IMHO.

I would say peace, but being able to pay rent and live alone kinda rebuffs that argument.

"Watch out, Shaggy! Watch out, Scooby-Doo! Hey nah ni nani no...look out Freddy, look out Velma, too!"

...yep, I can hear it.
Meghan Trainor's music always sounds like it belongs playing in the background of A Pup Named Scooby Doo's chase scenes. Thanks, I hate it!

Absolutely.
we were chatting the other day and we decided that barry gordy and quincy jones are the pillars of music of the 20th century.

without them, modern music would not exist today.

Con Funk Shun was one of the best-known bands of their era and they're still touring/recording today.

It was an honor to talk with co-founder/lead guitarist Michael Cooper about Con Funk Shun's start, how they wrote their hits and yes, the "Love's Train" backstory #MusicSky

Should've done my house cleaning yesterday because right now it feels like Mission Impossible.

But I'm absolutely getting this place in order before I start baking Thursday morning.

@msmicaluv.bsky.social look at what the Aces are doing... Lol
November 24, 2025 at 7:28 PM
Because everybody's trying to show out lol
As somebody that went to a football game recently, where former high school teammates get together and play once a month? Women being in the audience actually furthers the chance of injury. 😂😂😂

This was fun and Coop was actually dropping lunch off to his grandson at school and took time out to rap with me, greatly appreciative of him for this.

Y'all check it out!

Using D'Hennessy as a pejorative is more anti Black than canceling the Nissan Altima. Sheesh.

"Sense has been chasing you all your life but you're faster" might be next generation's "To be, or not to be?"
75 years from now, whoever has the internet archives is going to be reading folks getting ROASTED and it will be considered classic literature. ROFL
